Our Curriculum

Our Early Years Program nurtures young learners through a play-based curriculum that sparks curiosity and fosters a love for learning. We recognize that children in their early years are natural inquirers, eager to explore the world around them. Our curriculum embraces this innate curiosity to help develop higher-order thinking and questioning skills.

UIS early-years students connect new concepts to what they already know, encouraging them to think beyond the classroom. Our approach integrates the best of international education, aligning with the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework while also incorporating a deep understanding of cultural values.

Age Group

Our Early Years Program caters to young learners in Pre-KG1 and Pre-KG2, offering a nurturing and stimulating environment where children aged 3 to 5 can thrive.

From the very start at UIS, your child is encouraged to explore, ask questions, and express themselves. We focus on their academic, physical, social, and emotional well-being, ensuring a balanced approach that prepares them for the more structured learning that follows in later years.
